Do you think girls are dumb? What according to you is the reason behind the growth of the cosmetic industry? Why do girls need make-up? Also, what about the strength? Why is it that girls almost always find themselves unable to match their physical strength to that of their male friends? And most importantly, do girls really consider that so called "dream wedding" one of their biggest dreams in life?

This book shows that the second wave feminists had a lot of genuine grievances and issues. Third wave feminism, by contrast, has ramped up the sense of grievance even though Western women have in many ways got it better than ever.
